Internet entrepreneur Mark Cuban had some critical words about YouTube.com. In a variety of stories (of which this is a typical one). Cuban gives his opinion that YouTube is a lawsuit waiting to happen. (YouTube.com is a site where people upload and share videos).
Between the pirated use of movies for “mash-ups” (combining images and voices from different movies for a humorous effect) or copyrighted music layed in the background of a video diary, copyright laws are being challenged every day. In fact, a video diary of a teenage girl was recently revealed to be a hoax and one of the clues was the use of non-copyrighted music played in the background! (You can read more about that story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonelygirl15).
I urge all of my readers to honor other people's copyrights just as you'd expect your own copyrights to be honored.
